Welcome to Asynchronous Academy's open learning materials. We believe modern education shouldn't be hidden behind a paywall. That's why our entire high school curriculum is fully open-source and browseable by anyone, anywhere.
Whether you're a prospective student previewing what makes our courses different, a parent auditing our rigorous standards, or an educator seeking modern inspiration, you can explore freely. Our courses are accredited by the Ontario Ministry of Education and lead to standard Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) credits, but they are engineered from the ground up for the digital age.
The release of ChatGPT in 2022 changed the way that people wrote, and we believe it raised the bar on what is required of humans. While some people treat it as a "slop-factory" and release a flood of low-quality content, the people who will be most successful in the future will have learned to use it to do things which were not possible just a few years ago. Our inquiry-based English courses help students join the latter group. We integrate AI as a practical sounding board, using it to stress-test your logic and expand your creative reach. You'll then translate those ideas into high-impact video content, using tools like Canva to bridge the gap between a raw thought and a finished product. If you want to learn to master the tools that define modern influence instead of hiding from them, this is your English course.

Most History courses ask you to memorize a timeline. We ask you to put yourself in it. Inspired by the text-based Role-Playing Games of yesteryear, this course uses a custom-built AI simulation where you use it as a co-writer to create your own story by giving it research and adapting its output. You’ll receive a story-starter, but the plot only progresses as you feed it your independent research. By incorporating your research into the narrative, you can steer the story and the development of your character. The focus of the course is teaching students to use critical analysis frameworks to pull apart sources, helping them become "fake news detectives", while using the story they write as a flexible base from which they can practice their research skills. By the end of the course, students will have learned to verify AI-generated content in the Wild West of the open internet and will have the tools to pick apart damaging messages on social media.

Physical education shouldn't be restricted to a gymnasium floor or a mandatory dodgeball game. This course is built for the student-athlete who is already training in the real world, whether that's on a competitive team, in a martial arts dojo, or following a disciplined personal lifting program. Using our digital tracking platform, you’ll document your training volume, analyze your recovery metrics, and apply sports science principles to your own routine. We stop treating fitness as a "class" and start treating it as an independent practice, giving you academic credit for the discipline and physical literacy you're already building.

Most music credits happen in a windowless rehearsal room, but this one happens wherever you actually play. This course is designed for musicians who are already deep in their craft, whether through private lessons, garage bands, or solo practice. Instead of forcing you into a standardized ensemble, we recognize the work you’re already doing. Using a custom digital practice log, you’ll track your technical development, document your repertoire, and analyze your progress through a professional lens. It’s a shift from being a "student" to being a "practitioner," turning your real-world dedication into the academic credit it deserves.
Turn your beginner to intermediate musical practice into academic credit. Track your progress, document your repertoire, and build foundational performance skills.
Continue developing your musical craft by documenting ongoing private lessons or personal practice. Analyze your technical growth and start refining your unique style.
